Jan 23 (Wed) Outings Committee Meeting
The Outings Committee will meet tonight at 6:30 at the Whole Foods Market, Preston Road at Forest Lane, upstairs in the Community Rooms. Note that this January meeting date is a FOURTH Wednesday, not our usual third Wednesday meeting date. Why the anomaly? Okay, the meeting organizer will be out of the country on the third Wednesday and appreciates your flexibility about meeting dates. Anyone interested in outings is welcome to attend and participate. Outings leaders and prospective leaders will receive a proposed agenda a couple days before the meeting. Organizer: Mark Stein Send Email 214-526-3733
Feb 27-Mar 4 (Wed-Mon) Annual Big Bend National Park Bus Trip
A description of the 2019 Big Bend trip is now online. To read all about the trip, including new hike options, go to this PDF. You'll also find information on cost and how to sign up. Our chartered bus leaves Dallas Wednesday night, February 27 and will return before sunrise Monday, March 4. This year's trip has options to backpack in the Chisos Mountains and from the Chisos Mountains southwest to Mule Ears Overlook. It also has options for base camping and day hiking in the east, central and west regions of the park. Coordinator: Ande Johnston Send Email 214-914-3590
Most options include a full day for short hikes into deep Santa Elena Canyon on the Rio Grande and other destinations off the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive. Early registration is advised, as early registrants gain priority for hiking trip preferences and the whole trip has sold out weeks in advance in recent years.
